Baby it is cold outside.................

our 21 year old cat is too cold to go out into the garage to use her litter box....this is a big no no in our home and Ken has just about had it....Desdemona please be a good girl...

Terry and Biff Matthews dropped by for a quick lunch at The Grill Deli...and came in for a check in to see what I am up to....

Michelle came in after her class with Marilyn Stocker....I am sorry that only one end of the table is open for a work space...

Sam stopped by in her beautiful coat...everyone has the cold and sniffles....snow is due tonight ....

Chris Lang dropped by after her lunch...doesn't she look beautiful in that warm sweater??? Again my studio is a mess...and yes this is when every one comes in..............I am so embarrassed.

My favorite counselor Sue came in for a warm soup and sandwich....we all need our polar bear outfits...

After everyone left I did begin the process of sorting my recycled foam boards...... I can trim them tomorrow when my intern arrives.

Yes this is my pile on top of one of the work tables...

Doris Carlson came in while her loving husband had another meeting...she is always so distinguished and beautiful..........

I need to remember to breathe.... so my light can shine on....

I picked up Lisa's photos today....John received some good news from his doctors and is looking forward to the opening on Friday.... shine in me Lisa....give me strength.

the sun is going down at Lisa's house in Granville....the day is ending and promises a new day tomorrow....

This is the same sunset at my home in Newark...

The temperatures are so low ...with the wind chill.... below zero . This cold completely wipes me out at the end of my day. I had every intention of going in to my studio and closing myself off from the world so I could get things organized. Before I even got out of the car....the visitors started. Yes, I am grateful...but because of the exhibit opening this Friday ...well I am anxious ...and I am needing to be still and in the quiet.

Poor kitty. Murphy looks at me when I shoo him out the door, in the morning. It's 2 degrees!!I'm staying warm in the studio surrounded by bright colors, having a blast fusing abstract fabric pieces. Love your sunset photo. :)Bea

Hope the weather is kind to you, I know the bitter cold makes me ache in new places.I imagine what you called "mess" as creative fodder in a place that so many smiling faces enjoy visiting again and again!Take care dear Mary Helenoxo

Thank you all for your loving words and support. The photo images did arrive and we installed the Lisa wall this morning. Now I have to be still and search for the words to express our admiration for the view through the lens of Lisa's camera. Peace and warmth to you all...the snow has returned tonight.

It has been very cold here, too. Makes you want to hide under the covers. Your studio always looks wonderful to me, and I am much more at home in a place that has a little clutter pile or two. Cozy-fies things. :) xox!

Art Saves Lives

About the Artist

I am an artist who makes her marks with a needle and thread. My visual journals give birth to my quilts and are the evidence of my existence. The dialogue between the viewer and the art allows me to integrate my historical, present, future voices, thus communicating with all generations. It is my purpose in the making of my art to guide one to discover a self-actualization of the human spirit--an ongoing conversation between the artist and the viewer. I cherish my freedom to speak through my dyed fabrics, beads, embellishments, and found objects. This visual fiber text has helped me discover a serene appreciation for my own being and often calms my spiritual soul in today's chaotic stream of life.
Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart has been making her works of art for more than 25 years. She has traveled and shown her work in Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, France (Paris), England (London), Italy, and Greece as well as throughout the United States.
